Today, at The Next Web Conference in Amsterdam, mobile and media trends expert Rudy de Waele left the crowd literally speechless. His 20-minute presentation provided us with a glimpse of the future and real hope of a connected, safer and better world that lies ahead.
His latest project “Mobile Trends Africa 2020″ a mobile trends project he launched last year, which collected the opinions of 50 visionaries in the mobile industry. Significantly narrowing his focus, and likely heightening his impact, Mobile Trends Africa brings together the predictions of 30+ industry professionals and local entrepreneurs in Africa. The project is co-curated by Ken Banks, the founder of Kiwanja, an 8-year old organization that empowers local, national and international non-profits to make better use of information and communications technology and Erik Herdsman, the co-founder of Ushahidi, iHub Nairobi and AfriGadget.
According to a recent report by the IMF, cited in de Waele’s speech, 7 out of the top 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa including Angola, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Chad, Mozambique and Rwanda. While de Waele says this is mostly based on profits from petroleum and raw materials, mobile will play a very important role in the coming years, particularly in light of the fact that mobile subscribers in Africa have been doubling every year since 2002. In fact, as reported by our very own Herimone Way, Africans are more likely to have a Facebook account than email address because they are signing up via Facebook mobile. [See her full story here.]
